Trigger/Reset coincidence: When the preamp/integrator gets reset every 1K (2K,4K,8K) clocks, it's signal does not simply drop to zero, rather it tends to 'ring' before zeroing (see the "noise and reset" figure). Since the trigger occurs randomly relative to the clock, it is possible that the two occur simultaneously, in which case the ADC will digitize the excursions of the reset pulse and not the charge deposited in that event. To measure how often this occurred, we recorded the time of each trigger relative to the reset pulse. This value was used to create the plot of double subtracted data vs. clock cycle at left. The dense central band is the pedestal, with a smear of real signals above. The light bands at +/- 300 ADC channels indicate that occasionally an erroneous pre- or post-sample signal of zero is being returned. The thin smattering on the right indicates that occasionally the clock is not resetting properly. The small vertical distribution on the left edge (time = 0) shows that simultaneous trigger and reset pulses are rare enough to be negligable.
